The Girl gets credit for all but two of these. My favorite is #6.

We’re an American family living just outside of Bitburg, in the scenic but often-damp Eifel countryside of far-western Germany. We got the crazy notion to buy a haus here, and even though it’s not the renovated barn/carriage house/crumbling country manor of our dreams, it’s pretty cool—when the plumbing and heating are working properly. When we aren’t traveling, we live a pretty quiet life. Stop by for frequent doses of Gemütlichkeit, which just basically means a sense of coziness and intimacy--and an unhurried pace to counter the frenetic nature of modern life. Doctor's orders! Oh, and a special hello to anyone visiting from the Spangdahlem Air Base community!

Thank you all--I will pass along the kind comments to my daughter!
Debbi, yes, it's hard to believe, sometimes, the kind of life we lead. It's a bit humdrum on a day-to-day basis, but we are close to so many fascinating places and have a lot for which to be thankful. I appreciate the reminder!
Gini, that would be great! How exciting that you are moving to Berlin...we haven't been there yet, but we do plan to go soon!
Photo number five is lovely! The blue background, the purple and white checked tablecloth, the cafe vibe, the flowers. This is the type of photo that ends up making a million rounds on tumblr because it evokes a moment we all wish we were living in right now.
I'm glad you like that photo, V. I had the same feeling about that cafe when I saw it. It was very photogenic!
Awesome photos!
I've heard there's a great place to buy wine in Strasbourg. We missed it when we were there...but it might be worth another trip back.
Thanks, E.! Please let me know if you find the wine place...
Oh, my friend. These images are stunning. Stunning, I say!
